Morton's neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of the foot, most commonly the area between the third and fourth toes. It is caused by the thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes. Although it is more commonly seen in adults, it can also occur in neonates under rare circumstances. The condition can lead to a burning pain in the ball of your foot, and your toes may sting, burn or feel numb.
